Given this new station on the H&C seems to be literally a stones throw
from White City on the central , wouldn't it have made more sense to
call it white city rather than having another daft Bank-Monument
situation?


As they're two physically separate stations, it's more of a Bow Road /
Bow Church situation.


Or Hammersmith/Hammersmith?

Or Shepherds Bush/Shepherds Bush, or Paddington/Paddington, or Edgware
Road/Edgware Road...

Mind you, I still think they should go back to calling Charing Cross
(Bakerloo) Trafalgar Square...But that'd create another Bank/Monument
situation. ;-)
